Speeches Motivate Good Public Speakers A rare opportunity greeted sophomores as they entered English 10. For once in their lives the group was allowed to do all the talking they wanted. The public speaking was done in the form of impromptu, in- troductory, and explanatory speeches. Through the speeches, students learned the correct techniques for talking before a large group. The classes watch- ed films that dealt with the qualities of a good speaker. Amy Chaplain Billie Jo Chittum Troy Clark David Clarke Nelson Clarke Jeff Coleman Tony Coleman Andrew Cropp These qualities were good posture, a clear, loud voice, eye contact, and appropriate facial expressions. The students were required to make five speeches. One was impromptu in which they made a speech that was totally un- prepared. In the introductory speech, the students introduc- ed a speaker by informing the audience the name and background of the person about to make a speech. The explanatory speeches showed how to do something by using visual aids. Students brought in guns, pets, drafting tools, fishing rods, and various other items to demonstrate. The pan- tomines were skits without words, and the last of the speeches were the oral book reports. By learning the correct forms of giving speeches, the students can now speak in front of an audience with less nervousness. In a search for his Geometry homework, Jeff Coleman makes good use of his study hall. 30 Sophomores
